I had a chance to try on the Define in the Inkwell Tri-Geo..Love this print and color but not really loving the material of this Define..while thick I felt it was a little too Polyester for my liking..it just wrinkles a lot in different places and doesn't look all that attractive..I'd rather get the Scuba in this Print/color which unfortunately is currently sold out in all sizes but a 2 online..hopefully I will find it in a store :)

I like the solid BD Define, but in all honesty, whenever I see a Define with the contrasting Omega, it looks incredibly dated to me. Don't get me wrong, I once had a substantial collection of Define jackets, but have since sold them all off and have converted to a Forme fan. The Forme looks more fresh and current, just my opinion!

I like that the model in the pink bikini looks like a hot mom. I don't know if Lulu realizes how many of their customers are workout addicted mamas, and if I may speak for all of us, we would like to see more models like this woman!

love that ultraviolet swiftly. and i do not need another purple-family LS swiftly! somehow that's all i seem to have! power purple chevron, plum tonka stripe, and heathered lullaby (or something lullaby). maybe we can call ultraviolet "pink"?also, i have to weigh in about the defines: i've never been a huge fan - i've got one left (sold 2) in bordeaux drama (with striped collar) and even though it's really nice, i don't reach for it. i tended to size up (to a 10) in defines because the back looked too tight, and the venting always folded up funny. but the 10 is really a bit too big. in my one forme (wee space cashew black), i got an 8, it's nice and fitted and i can still wear long sleeves under it, and the bottom hem hits in a better place. i can wear that as a regular jacket, whereas defines with the vent in the back always look like an exercise jacket no matter what, and at the same time look too corporate or something. i'm glad they make so many people so happy, but for me the current forme works better. that said, give me a stride or in stride any day over any of the other longer jackets. but make some good colors in those!

@ anon 8:28 pm - That is exactly how I feel. I was resistant to the Forme when they came out, but once they added cuffins onto it, I embraced it as the more up to date, strealined look and Defines became passe to me.

Totally agree...I am wanting to like the Defines, but after seeing them online and in the store -especially the geometric print- they do seem somewhat dated because of the contrasting Omega symbol reminiscent of lulu circa 2011. I do like the length of the defines however and maybe in fresher patterns or colors, it may yet appeal.

@ anon 8:31 pm - I am not a mom... I'm unmarried and in my late 20s. But I was still thinking the same thing you were recently! I like the models they use, but I am surprised that they don't use more of a variety of models that reflect the people who buy and love the brand...

Agree with all the comments above but when is lulu going to make a swim top that actually provides adequate coverage? I bought a swim top this summer and am only a b cup - it feels like I'm falling out of it.

Totally agree about the Define Jacket. I understand the appeal but I never really got/get the hype and I wasn't sad at all to see it disappear. I'm fit and can wear this jacket but it is not for me. I never cared for the Forme jacket either. I much prefer my In Stride Jacket for the length and the collar. If I want to wear a fitted jacket, I wear my Dance Studio.

they do use a variety of models: been watching this blog and lulu for years the models come and go.... where have you been????if you want plus size models call lulu or email hey lulu and take up ur beef there.

@ Anon 8:31pm - My reaction was exactly the same - a fit mom who is rocking the bikini! Total aside here - I'm not saying it is on LLL specifically, but it would be wonderful to see fit moms with post-partum 'stuff' just out there in general. No matter how lean I get, that stuff just ain't going away - it's always good to have a reminder that this is normal. We don't see it enough. Love that photo.

@ Anon 7:43, I agree 100% with your sentiments. While we may have seen older, non six pack rocking models in the past, it is extremely RARE to see them in BIKINIS. Many of us moms have that "stuff" going on. And, for those out there who say "well, that's your fault, you just need to work harder" Tell that to my spin teacher who is ripped and must have like 10% body fat (lover her but hate her lol). As a testament to her fitness level, she just ran a marathon with a time of 3:06. Yet, she is a mom and has that "stuff" going on. For some, it is just not going away, and yes, I too, agree that it is nice to see that it is normal.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
